	Oh, and
	<!WA4><a href="http://www.wco.com/~aerick/ten.htm">lawsuits</a>.
	And worst/wierdest of all: a lawsuit against people
	selling a magazine that had
	<!WA5><a href="http://www.igc.apc.org/spr/docs/answer-me.html">a

	There are other players, too.  See

	(look under archives, #725, or see
	<!WA9><a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/pardo/legeth.d/reid.txt">here</a>).
	Note that Reid is listed by Rimm as a source of data
	(find `Reid' under

	and Post is a visiting law prof. at Georgetown.

	They're the folks who, like Robert Morris, with the internet
	worm, pointed out that if you provide a free lunch mechanism,
	people will use it.
	Now it's our job to make sure we do something about it
	(evolution in action, folks!).
	<!WA15><a href="http://cyber.sell.com/home2.html">This</a>
	also used to point at something.  I think it's been removed,
	which means it can't be cached,
	so if you keep trying it you'll just chew up resources.
